This Christ, by Hernán Puelma (1982), is located at the entrance of the Catholic University's San Joaquin campus.It is very famous, but not because of its artistic value, but for its resemblance with Batman. This is why it is often affectionately referred to as the "BatChrist".
It does look like a bat! :-D
ReplyDeleteThat's funny!

Daqui, de onde o vejo, parece-me absolutamente genial.

Quanta elegância.
Soberbo!

I love this picture just for the simple fact that I used to go by the statue every day! I studied abroad in Santiago four years ago, and this was the campus that I attended. Lots of fond memories come flooding back when I see this!

Maybe Señor Puelma has read some Batman comics before becoming creative... :)
